1. A classmate wants to know if I'm gay. How should I respond?

   Predaking replied to atwtrn's topic in Male Students

   What's your personal sexual lifestyle got's to do with being a student male nurse? I come to this forum to read about students getting into nursing...not their personal lifestyles whether their gay or not. This particular forum is turning into a gay...

2. Any patients you couldn't stand et how did you deal?

   Predaking replied to fultzymom's topic in General Nursing

   Homeless people and here's why: 1) Nasty attitude like WE OWE them or something. My taxes pays for your care at my hospital. 2) Scabies 3) I wish they would take a freaking shower. There's a shower stall inside the damn room for crying out loud. I kn...

3. A doctor made me cry!

   Predaking replied to shortstuff31117's topic in General Nursing

   I love the nurses I work with. They don't take smack from managers or doctors.

5. CNA job is SO MUCH HARDER!!!...

   Predaking replied to couldntbhappier's topic in CNA/MA

   Ahhh...I remember being a CNA in the convy hospital way back in the early 90's. Worked in the morning shift. Back then, I didn't care. I had a job that paid pretty good (I lived with my parents back then and I didn't have the bills I do now).

6. Night Shift might be killing me

   Predaking replied to NICU_3_RN's topic in Stress 101

   I wish I was as motivated as you working nights. I felt like crap getting off at 7am. Especially in my microbiology class this past semester. Now that I'm working pm's(occasional 12 hour shifts), I feel awesome. Sleep is never a problem with me worki...

7. Night Shift might be killing me

   Predaking replied to NICU_3_RN's topic in Stress 101

   Get out of the night shift. Did that for years. Maybe this explains why I'm nutty at times.

8. *microbiology Summer 07*

   Predaking replied to MelanyJ's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Not to cause you anymore stress and I'm not trying to downplay the importance of microbiology, but if you're going to stress out over anything, it should be the RN NCLEX when you take that in the future. Microbiology, Anatomy, and Physiology mean not...

9. How about this as a foot in the door?

   Predaking replied to CloudySue's topic in Career Support

   You could work as a housekeeper or a transporter and that's a step into nursing. Most hospitals will sponsor their own employees and union rules give the edge to employees as far as seniority goes. Of course, working at the bedside with patients help...

    I didn't know the U.S. Army had AGR for healthcare workers.

12. Just accepted, what to expect being a guy?

    Predaking replied to deftonez188's topic in Men

    True...but the female unit coordinators I work with where into the Warriors vs. Mavericks/Jazz games this past month.

13. do any of you like codes??

    Predaking replied to ryanfocker's topic in Men

    Psss...codes. The doctors and RN's hog all the glory of reviving a crashing patient. The only thing I can do as an LVN is grab the stupid crash cart(after determining their code status of course), maybe place the CPR board on the pt's back, and set u...

14. I.V. Cert. Question

    Predaking replied to Gingerbell's topic in LPN/LVN

    Here's some tips for inserting IV's: I know most nurses will insert IVs anywhere a vein is available, but if the patient is alert (and is not going to move his/her arm alot), I'd insert the IV in the antecubital area because the vein there is huge. I...

15. Any Tips For Microbiology?

    Predaking replied to MvbRn's topic in Pre-Nursing

    The immune system and genetic chapters were a killer for me. I stuck it out though and got an "A" for my efforts.
